[QUOTE="Eryk, post: 4905841, member: 37779"] Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the restrictions lifted at all. While the logical part of my brain liked the tavern operating on the understanding that the mundane folk of the area don't want monsters in their midst...well, it always seemed the tavern was more fun when it was a little more open to the strangeness. That being said, here's one thing that's niggling me about these. And let me say, I don't play any characters that it affects, so it's really just curiousity. If animal familiars are allowed...why aren't animal companions? They're essentially the same thing. And really...to the minds of the 'xenophobic townsfolk'...aren't they almost the exact same thing? If anything, wouldn't such close-minded people be much more understanding of at least the smaller companions, i.e., dogs and cats and hawks (things like bears and tigers are obviously just out. I mean, come on...) than someone who walked around with a mephit or a talking psuedodragon on their shoulder? And if the issues is 'animals have fleas and we don't want them in the tavern'...why can't animals of the normal nature that -would- be found in such a setting...be out in the garden? Like I said, I'm not complaining. It's just always seemed a little weird to me. [/QUOTE]
